NOTE: Please just ignore the music that's playing in the background. That was just music I was listening to while I worked. There is no sound attached to this test.
Testing multiple lights using the Capacitive Sensing Library in the Arduino IDE to see if I could fit all my sensors on using an Arduino Uno's digital pins (there will be 9 lights in total, with 7 sensors). Managed to figure out a way to wire things up so multiple lights connected to the same ground, and multiple resistors connected to the same 'send' pin to save on pins. I just had enough pins on the Uno for everything I need for Heartree. <3
Also tested multiple touchpoints (so touching multiple sensors at the same time) and it worked! Just had to tweak the sensor value threshold to something that worked for most scenarios.
